No. 4D07-1028.

967 So.2d 437 (2007)

Glenn F. STRAUB, Appellant, v. Gaye SCARPA, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

October 31, 2007.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Larry A. Zink of Zink, Zink & Zink Co., L.P.A., Hillsboro Beach and Canton, OH, for appellant.

Jose D. Sosa of Arnstein & Lehr LLP, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

GROSS, J.

In Rapp v. Jews for Jesus, Inc., 944 So.2d 460, 467-69 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006),1 we expressed the concern that an expansive view of the tort of false light invasion of privacy would infringe on freedom of expression. This case demonstrates an attempt to use the tort to stifle political speech in a community. We affirm the order dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.
